docs - what's this pianocheetah directory got?

Talking about PianoCheetah's main directory here.
At some point you'll wanna know about that.
Maybe not now :) BACK TA HOME

pianocheetah main directory has...
YOUR songs - the ones you're practicing and did.
Parts of songs, midi device configuraton, and other stuffff.


Don't keep every midi file in the universe here!
Keep those in a different directory to be searched.
PianoCheetah lists this one every time it runs.


midi_import


pianocheetah looks for midi files in here when it boots.
midi files are put into 4_queue and converted to a.song format.
any non midi files are moved to a dir called midi_junk (like .txt files or .pdf or whatever else)
directory structure will be kept when moving to 4_queue so if you wanna keep them isolated, put them all within a dir called midi_import/new so they aren't mixed in with the existing songs


1_learning


songs you're learning right now (daily-ish)


2_repertoire


songs you want to keep in your fingers (weekly-ish) on rotation


3_done


songs you're done with but want to keep because of the loops and fingering you've setup. So you can pick them back up another day


4_queue


staging area for new songs you'll get to as you have time.
eventually they'll be moved to 1/2/3 above...


clip


parts of tracks that are weaved into songs
drum clips, bass patterns, arpeggios, chord changes, styles, etc


device


has your midi hardware configuration and all of syn's samples
